Nashville Predators
Andrew Brunette’s side have made a terrible start to the new season. A series of five defeats threw Nashville to last place in the Western Conference table. The Predators played their previous match on their own ice and lost to Detroit with a score of 2:5. Luke Schenn put the hosts ahead, but after that the opponent took the initiative and achieved success. The author of the second goal was Steven Stamkos, who realized the numerical advantage. Nashville ranks seventh in shorthanded play (86.7%) and 17th in power play (18.8%).
Boston Bruins
Bears goalkeeper Jeremy Swayman has two wins this season and has stopped 90.5% of shots with a save percentage of 2.71. Cole Kopke scored six points this season, his best for the Massachusetts club. Jim Montgomery’s team converts on 16% of their power plays (21st in the league) and stops 82.8% of their opponents’ power plays (13th). At the time of writing the forecast, the Bears are in fourth place in the Eastern Conference table (six matches, seven points).
Statistics and numbers:
- Nashville is the favorite for the upcoming match according to bookmakers.
- Boston won four victories in five previous head-to-head meetings.
- The last game ended with a score of 3:0 in favor of Boston.
- Boston has four wins in its previous four away games against Nashville.
Forecast
Lately, head-to-head matches between rivals in the state of Tennessee have not been very productive. It seems to me that the teams will not break the total of six goals.
